During rhinoplasty, incisions are typically made inside the nostrils or along the columella, which is the tissue between the nostrils. This means that scarring is usually minimal and well-hidden. In some cases, an external incision may be required, resulting in a small scar on the base of the nose, but it tends to fade over time and become barely noticeable. To further minimize the appearance of scars, it is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions, including keeping the incision areas clean, avoiding sun exposure, and applying scar creams or silicone sheets as recommended. Additionally, leading a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and avoiding smoking, can contribute to optimal healing and scar reduction.
